Welcome to the filthy side of Death Metal, welcome to RUDE.

FDA Rekotz is happy to present Soul Recall, the uncompromising debut album from rotten Death Metal act RUDE. Hailing from Berkeley, Calif., RUDE combine classic Death Metal in the vein of the early Pestilence stuff with the dirt of maniacs like Autopsy. Catchy, brutal, brain crushing metal to the bone.

Soul Recall, featuring artwork by Dan Seagrave, will be released on CD, vinyl and digital formats on May 30, via FDA Rekotz. Pre-orders are being taken at www.fda-rekotz.com.

The first pressing of the vinyl edition will be limited to 150 copies in pus yellow and 350 copies in plague black vinyl.

HEAVY SOUND FESTIVAL – HISTORY:

The Heavy Sound Festival was a Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Festival back in the ’80s. The first edition took place in Bruges (Belgium), in 1983. The 2nd & 3rd moved to Poperinge for ’84 and ’85.

Bands – 1st edition:
Ostrogoth, Killer, Golden Earring, Viva, Baron Rojo, Warning, Uriah heep, Gary Moore…

Bands 2nd edition:
Motorhead, Twisted Sister, Metallica, H-bomb, Faithful Breath, Mercyful Fate, Lita Ford

Bands 3rd edition:
Pretty Maids, Slayer, UFO, Lee Aaron, Tokyo Blade, Warlock, Crossfire…

The festival was all about giving new upcoming bands the chance to be heard and some of them made it pretty far!

In 1985 there were some complaints about vandalism, never knew if this was true or just a rumor. Anyhow, the organizers thought it was better to just leave it as it was and stopped organizing the event.

It’s official that the heavy sound is totally back, with a new organization and the crew of the previous editions!!
